Thanks to all of you for your constant prayers and support--we definitely feel it and are so blessed by you! We have a prayer request for Jacob and a huge praise for our family. First the prayer request. This past weekend we began moving our things to Jacó. It was great to begin getting settled in our new home. We are looking forward to being there permanently in the next 3 weeks. Well, yesterday morning we were at the house and Jacob was playing with a Q-tip. He ended up putting it in his ear, fell on it somehow and began screaming. After crying for quite a while, we thought he was ok because it was not bleeding or anything. Well, as we were leaving in the car his ear began to bleed so we went straight to the hospital in San Jose. To make a long story short, he has a hole in his eardrum and is on antibiotics for the next week. The doctor told us that the good news is 90% of the holes will close on their own. The bad news is if it doesn't, he has to have surgery. We have to go back in a few weeks to get it checked and at some point they will do a hearing test on him. Anyway, please pray with us that everything will be ok and it will close on it's own. We know that whatever happens, the Lord already knew that this was going to happen so we take comfort that He is faithful!!
On the other hand, we received news today that we are officially RESIDENTS of Costa Rica!!! We feel like this is more than an answer to prayer because to obtain residency this quickly is almost unheard of. We have a friend who is still in process and has been for 6 years. We have other friends that got residency after 4 years. We feel so humbled that the Lord has chosen to give us this gift this quickly and we truly give Him all the praise for this. This continues to confirm to us that we are exactly where He wants us to be at this point in our lives. The last step we have is a meeting with Immigration on August 18th to get our IDs made and more paperwork completed. Many of you have been praying specifically for this and we thank you so much!
We love you and will continue to pray for you!!!! Thanks for praying!!

So sorry about Jacob...Donovan had the surgery to repair his ear drum. The hole from his tube never sealed up and we only found out last year. He was walking around with a hole in his ear for a while. I was told that most of the time they do seal up on their own. I will pray. No surgery is fun!
And I am rejoicing with you on your residency.
AWESOME!
Miss you tons!

Keeping you in our prayers. Everyone, lets light a candle at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher http://holylandprayer.com. Now we can light a candle at the Church without making it all the way to Jerusalem. God bless.
